Will my ES4 application run on ES5?

Your ES4 application will need to be edited and recompiled but it won't be difficult. Most of the changes are to the package names of imports. We have a roadmap for you to follow, and for most ES4 applications it will only take an hour or two of editing and recompiling, depending on the number of different plugins and number of different client classes that use the ElectroServer API. See Upgrading from ES4 for full details.

Where can I download previous versions of ES5?

The ES5 Downloads page only has links for the most recent release of ES5, but it is easy to download previous versions. Find the link you would use on that page for your operating system. Notice that there are two places in the link that specify the version. For example, ES5.4.0 links have "5_4_0" in two places. Replace both instances of the current version in the link with the version you need. Most common back versions needed are 5_2_3, 5_3_2, and 5_3_3.

Android applications for ES5

See Connect and Login (Java Android). There are three Java Android examples: Connect and Login Manually, Simple Chat, and AndEngine Physics.
